FEBI172134 Febi Inlet Hose

This hose essentially connects the air filter box to the engine. Its job is to pull clean air into the engine so it can mix with fuel and create combustion. It needs to be airtight, obviously, and flexible enough to deal with engine movement and temperature changes. It's a pretty simple part, but crucial. Think of it like the lungs of the engine. The air filter cleans the air, and this hose delivers that clean air directly where it needs to go. It’s part of the intake system, which is everything that gets air into the engine for it to run. It usually connects to the throttle body or intake manifold. Well, if this hose cracks, splits, or gets disconnected, unfiltered air – dirt, dust, debris – can get into your engine. That’s bad news. It can cause wear and tear on internal components, reduce performance, and even lead to more serious engine problems down the road. You’ll notice if it’s really bad – the engine might run rough, lose power, or the check engine light could come on. It acts like a shield protecting the sensitive parts inside. A good one keeps things running smoothly and efficiently. You can find replacements pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection, and they’re usually a straightforward DIY job if you’re comfortable doing a little engine bay work. Shop with confidence: Inlet Hose (MPN 172134) comes with a 3 year manufacturer guarantee!
